The acting commissioner visited the district court around 10:15 a.m. on the 19th to assess the damage. In response to a reporter's question asking, 'Is there a possibility that far-right YouTubers inciting the protesters could be investigated?' the acting commissioner replied, 'We plan to conduct a thorough investigation if they are related to the violent incident.'
Regarding the threatening posts directed at the judge who issued the arrest warrant for President Yoon, he explained, 'We will thoroughly investigate and find that person (the author of the posts) and do our best to protect the (judge's) personal safety.' He emphasized, 'This incident is a serious challenge to the rule of law' and noted, 'We will continue to respond strictly to illegal and violent protests.'
